Best Jacs Ground Chicken Lasagna Recipes

GROUND CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the ground chicken and brown. Once the chicken has browned, push it to one side of the skillet and add in the onion and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium.
• Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the onions are fragrant and soft. Pull the chicken back to the middle of the pan and mix with the onions and garlic.
• Pour in the marinara sauce, reduce the heat, and let the sauce simmer. Taste and add more salt as needed. If you like crushed red pepper for a little heat, toss that in now. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare your lasagna baking dish. OPTIONAL: spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• While the sauce simmers, in a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese.
• Assemble! Spoon a thin layer of sauce across the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover with either uncooked or parboiled lasagna noodles to make a solid, even layer.
• Spoon ricotta cheese over the noodles and use the back of your spoon to spread it evenly. Then add a layer of mozzarella cheese. Then a nice thick layer of sauce, noodles, the remaining ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat with one more layer of lasagna (you should be nearing the end of the pound at this point), add any remaining sauce, and cover the top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes. You want the sauce to be bubbly and the cheese to be completely melted and browned at the edges.
• Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

WHITE CHEESE CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with the basil, oregano, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the noodles, the ricotta, and the chicken. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken, and layer with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, and the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.

ALFREDO CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Place chicken, seasoned salt, and 1 tablespoon garlic in a pot and pour enough broth over top to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred when cool enough to handle. Discard broth.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain, and lay out on aluminum foil to cool.
• Mix ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning together in a large bowl; set aside.
• Combine Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and pepper in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and mushrooms. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic; cook until spinach is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture. Add tomato and mix well.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Put enough sauce in a 9x13-inch casserole dish to cover the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, followed by all of the ricotta mixture, 3 more noodles, all of the shredded chicken, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, 3 remaining noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

CHICKEN TACO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Combine chicken, lime juice, and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Stir to make sure chicken is evenly covered.
• Cook chicken mixture over medium heat until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Mix 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and salsa in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put a few spoonfuls of the sour cream mixture in the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Layer noodles and chicken on top. Cover with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until noodles are tender and cheese is melted, about 1 hour.
